The Rendlesham Forest Incident of December 1980, is considered by far the most significant event in UFO history. It was also a unique military-related event, having taken place in Rendlesham Forest just outside the twin bases of RAF Bentwaters and RAF Woodbridge in Suffolk, England – both of which had been transferred to the United States Air Force in 1951 by the British MOD (Ministry of Defence), becoming one of the largest and most important NATO complexes in Europe during the Cold War. The account given in this book is that of James W. Penniston, a Staff Sergeant at the time of the incident, who was the primary witness who led the investigation in the beginning and had ‘Top-Secret clearance’ – one of only eight people with Top-Secret clearance working Security at the twin bases. His credibility and honesty were highly respected throughout his years in the USAF. Jim Penniston has teamed-up with author Gary Osborn to present the definitive account of the Rendlesham Incident and the aftermath of events, just as he witnessed and experienced them from the incident itself, which began during the early morning hours of Boxing Day, December 26, 1980 up to April 2014.

Star Children Hardcover – 1 Nov. 1994
Publisher: Robert Hale Ltd (1 Nov. 1994)
by Jenny Randles
ISBN-10: 0709053886
ISBN-13: 978-0709053880



The premise of this book is that there are people living amongst us whose origins are other than human. Some believe they were born on another planet and put here during a period of imminent crisis to help mankind. Others feel that they have been used in a global plan to genetically develop new superhumans, that women's eggs or men's sperm have been taken from them during enforced space abductions in order to create hybrids of human/alien babies. These entities, unaware of their own origin, may be growing up in our midst, seeded here as representatives of a brighter future and awaiting a trigger signal buried deep into their subconscious preparing them to set the world alight. The author is a researcher known for her objectivity and has scoured the world researching these incredible cases and put together a report that may stagger you just as much as it has challenged the author's own convictions. She assesses the pros and cons, looks at the possibilities for psychological and earthly solutions, but shows that we must confront one frightening prospect head-on. The star children may well be here - and you could be one of them.

Tom Slemen..


Author of the Haunted Liverpool series




Tom's interest in the paranormal began in early childhood, when he lived with his family in Melville Place, near Myrtle Street, Liverpool. Tom says he learned from his mother that he had witnessed a ghostly apparition of a Victorian waitress carrying a large platter along with the eerie sound of laughing children, and he was instantly hooked. None of the family thought to investigate the possible causes of the spectre, but Tom took it upon himself to try to unravel the mystery behind the spiritual maiden. He went to the local library and found that his house had actually been built on the same spot where an orphanage once stood. For some, this could mean that the ghosts were associated with the old orphanage. Later, Tom realized that a nearby street was called Orphan Street. From then on, his interest grew every time he visited the library in search of other ghost stories.


Tom has had a varied career since the publication of his first book Murder On Merseyside (Hale 1994). He is above all an author. In addition to writing his own books, he also contributes to very popular weekly columns on paranormal activities related to Liverpool and unsolved crimes at The Liverpool Echo.
